If emo-rock has its own Led Zeppelin, it is surely Vendetta Red. In addition to curly-locked frontman Zach Davidson's passing resemblance to a young Robert Plant, the Seattle group shares Led Zep's penchant for monster guitar riffs and fantastical imagery (note SISTERS OF THE RED DEATH's mythological album artwork). Vendetta Red is undoubtedly one of emo's leading lights, and SISTERS reinforces that status with ambitious, anthemic tunes that shift deftly from catchy melodies to surging metallic interludes.
